Ensure that the dies sit in the correct position.

Be sure that the number on the top edge of the die correcsponds with the number of the slot into which it is to
be place.
Fix the pipe in a pipe vice and tighten to prevent it from rotating. (Fig. 3)

Apply the lubricant to the pipe after the first thread has been cut.Keep rotating the handles clockwise and check the
length of the pipe thread.

Ensuret that the length of the thread is sufficient to fit half way into the socket or coupling.
If the die stock and the die stick, turn the stock anticlockwise to break the chips.Reverse the ratchet knob, ease the
handle and turn the stock anticlockwise till the stock and dies come out of the pipe.lean the thread with a wire
brush. Form thread until the pipe extends about one or two threads beyond the end of the stock.Remove the stock
and dies by operating the quick release lever and clean off the thread with a wire brush.Check the formation of
thread with a standard fitting.
Repeat the operation if the thread is too tight, by adjusting the dies
